VALDOSTA —
After returning from WalMart Sunday, I was called. Someone found my wallet and would not turn it over to anyone else, waiting for me to return. She politely refused my gift of money. I was so touched I cried. Dear lady, you restored my faith that good people indeed exist. I wish I’d asked your name. Thank you.
When a person fails to pay child support, their driver’s license is revoked. Why don’t they revoke drivers’ licenses for those in arrears on student loans? Treat the financially irresponsible equally.
Container “royalties” were conceived in 1960 by unions to protect them from job losses created by containerized freight growth (innovation penalty). Fifty-two years later, unions threatened an East Coast port strike if the now absurd royalty stopped. They quickly got what they wanted. So, for quick changes in D.C., unite and threaten to stop working, like unions.
A thankful rave to the person(s) who gave us a $20 gift card at Crystal River before Christmas. May God bless you abundantly.
Would someone with good knowledge please explain the difference between a Republican and a Democrat?
It is what is in your head and heart that determines if you go to heaven, not what church building you go to.
Why is gas 8 to 10 cents more at one station than another? Report the price gouging!
Once again, I received bad customer service. From this moment, I vow to contact the corporate office of every business this happens at. As someone who works retail, I am respectful to every customer-service rep I encounter. I refuse to boycott anymore. Managers, take action. Expect better from your employees. Better yet, yourself.
If everyone would stop buying gas for just one day, the prices would drop dramatically. Imagine how much they would drop if America would stop buying for a week. Everyone needs to fill up on Friday and not buy gas the rest of the week.
Why is it that gun nuts speak with heightened relish, pseudo-sexual excitement, and enthusiasm about killing “aggressors?” Are they more interested in seeing blood spilled or justice prevail?
Thanks to a great photographer in the park who gave me a terrific photo of my son.

Over 150 applicants applied for the handful of teaching jobs in Lowndes County. Plus, almost every single paraprofessional is a certified teacher who has been waiting patiently, “doing their time.” And, Lake Park Elementary hires a teacher who has quit, not once, but twice before. The "good ole' boy" network at its finest.

Have we progressed to the point where we are arguing about gay marriage? I thought the South was still outraged about blacks being able to marry whites! Hmm...We will catch up to the rest of the world eventually.

I found the cartoon referencing Tim Tebow's Christianity on Thursday's editorial page very offensive. I can agree that many people are out for what God can do for them, not how they can serve God, But I do not see any evidence of that attitude or life style in Tim Tebow's life. Time will tell.

Good riddance to the doctor unable to take Medicaid patients?! Do you work for free? I bet you go to work and expect a paycheck. Why would the doctor be any different? Blame our fearless leaders, not the doctors. And you are WAY out of line questioning whether that person is Christian or not. Sounds like the person who thinks preachers should work for free.

Amazing: Even a judgmental person like yourself can’t even bother to get the facts straight before you criticize something. Jason Collins did an extremely brave thing by coming out in a world filled with people such as yourself. Words of Wisdom: Leave the judging to God.

Raves to Mrs. Kay and Mrs. Sylvia at Cook Primary! They have the best behaved class and are the best teachers in that school!

To all who use Coleman Road as a short cut between Old Highway 41 North and North Valdosta Road, please remember the speed limit is 35, not 65. Tailgating me isn’t going to make me go faster. Remember, it’s our neighborhoods, not your short cut!

I hope Al Sharpton finds time to visit the mother in Brunswick whose baby was shot point blank in the forehead while in his baby stroller. Perhaps the reverend could also counsel the angry young black man who pulled the trigger. Oh wait, the baby was white. Never mind.

I thought that all schools had dress codes that the teachers and substitutes had to follow? When I walk into the school it looks like they are headed to the pool instead of the classroom. Tank tops and skimpy skirts are not allowed. Come on, administration, make them follow the rules. Thank you, to the teachers and staff that do adhere to the dress code.

Property tax should be based on value. School taxes should be separate and assessed to each household equally, no exemptions. The rich, middle and poor should pay equally for children's public education.
